Getting Started with (Real World) OCaml

This session will be a brief introduction to the OCaml programming language and will go through some of the topics covered in the new O'Reilly book, Real World OCaml (https://realworldocaml.org - the book is freely available online under a Creative Commons Licence so all attendees will be able to read it).

We will also introduce the initial version of a new OCaml Platform which combines the core OCaml compiler with a coherent set of tools, documentation, libraries and testing resources. The Platform will represent the best way for developers, both new and old, to write software in OCaml.
